Author's Notes: HIIIII! Sorry, not usually that peppy, I'm just excited... Well, anyway, I'm a new user, but definitely not a new author! Been writing for a long time now. This was my first fan fiction written, and was going to stand alone. But then I added a sequel, which is a Majora's Mask spin-off, then before I finished that I added a third which is... complicated as far as placement... then I added a fourth, which wraps them all together and explains all of the oddities. Finished the third before the second or fourth. Well ANYWAY, if you want to give me advice on how the website works, leave me a comment. If you want to nicely criticize my work. then leave a comment. Please note that this was my first, and the rest are better :)

Something I believe in is consistency, so I try my hardest to make sure information in the story matches the games and with itself essentially. I also want to make sure that I keep up with my stories, so I will only submit things I have finished and ready to go. It would be frustrating for anyone who actually likes this to get into it and it never finished. All that said, here's the first chapter! It gets better as my series goes on, trust me xD

Chapter 1: Zelda

I'm falling. I'm floating. I can't decide which. The atmosphere feels… deep, like with every breath I'm sucking in the ocean. The things around me are all a blur. I can just make them out through half-opened eyes: stars, of every color. Is this real? It moves so fast, it hurts to look. So I simply close my eyes again and fall. In my confused brain, I can't even remember my own name. What is this place? Am I dead? Maybe that's it. I'm dead, and this is my soul falling into the afterlife.

Just then, a thought enters my brain, interrupting my justifications for why I'm here. Is it my voice? I don't think so. These words echo, bouncing around:

"Zelda… Come back… no… Zelda!"

It makes me wonder who this "Zelda" is. Do I know her? Maybe. Again, my confused, hyperactive brain refuses to think clearly. Where am I going? Why can't I stop falling? Is anyone else suffering the same fate? Or am I alone?

"Hello."

Is that a voice? A real one, not imagined by my partially insane consciousness? I'm so surprised that I utter a sort of longing whimper.

"How are you? Can you speak? Can you hear me?" the voice asks gently.

"Yes… I can speak." I tried my voice and it worked. "To answer your other question, I'm not quite sure… how I feel. Can you tell me?"

"I… I can't even predict how you feel." The voice sounds emotional.

"Now some questions for you: Why did you put me here, wherever 'here' is? Why did I feel like I was falling? Who are you? And who is Zelda?"

"Ah yes. The flow of questions. I only put you here because you needed to be somewhere solitary. I can't explain why you felt like you were falling, but trust me, you're not. And I'm Link… your friend." This sounded like a man's voice. I finally opened my eyes and looked in his direction.

He was wearing a long black cape, underneath was a tunic of forest green and white leggings. On his belt was a sword and a strange, bean-shaped-blue-thing, with an opening like a mouthpiece and holes along the sides. The name of the object was in my head somewhere, but just out of reach of my thought. His hood obscured his face from my vision.

"You never answered my last question." I said. "Who is Zelda?" I wanted desperately to know who this strange person was, whose name kept appearing in my head.

"I'm afraid, that answer will have to be saved for later." said the man, Link. Then he took off his hood.

His hair was blonde, full and messy. His eyes were blue-green, a beautiful mixture of colors. For a moment, he looked familiar. Then the moment was gone.

My fevered brain kicked into a sudden emotional hyper-drive. "Why can't you answer my question?! Why? What are you hiding from me?!" I shouted. Then Link simply put his hand over mine to calm me. I quieted my voice. "I'm sorry for yelling. I'm just desperate to know."

Link took up the strange-blue-bean-shaped thing and put his mouth to it. Moving his fingers along the holes, and like magic, music was made. I had never heard or seen anything like it before, considering this is the only life I have experienced so far. Or have I? It was so soft and gentle, like a lullaby. I started to feel sleepy. When the song ended, Link looked at me with sad eyes and said, "Zelda is a beautiful person. She is a princess, with hair like gold and eyes like stars. We're friends, you know. We've been through so much together. I wish… I just wish… that things were… the same…" he trailed off but bravely looked into my eyes.

"What happened to this Zelda?" I asked quietly.

"She's being… taken care of."

"Is she still as beautiful as you've described her? She seems like a wonderful person." I asked, yawning.

Hesitating, he answered in almost a whisper, "Yes. She's still a shining supernova, so bright that it hurts to look."
